Unashamed debt collector letters. Ignore them. It won’t make this stop, and may ultimately evolve into a LBC, but it won’t be so easy for them given the requirements of the new Pre-Action Protocol (PAP).

Come back if you get one.

Thanks to all,

Just the one issue, as mentioned previously, I have moved into rented and will be moving again at the end of this month/early next month.

My car docs are still in my old address (was waiting until in new final address before changing)
All post has been directed from old address to my office address

This letter was sent to my rental address and would assume any further correspondence may be sent there also (after I have finished tenancy)

Any thoughts on what to do regarding this

Thanks

You may provide the claimant with an English/Welsh postal address for service. When doing so, you must state the position clearly and unambiguously.

Your car address etc is irrelevant once a service address is nominated.

I would consider a separate subheading so the point is clearly made, before stating as follows: 'if it is your intention to issue proceedings in this matter, please note that my nominated address for service is xxxxxxxxx to which all further correspondence should also be sent.'

Unless it would be embarrassing (eg if the postroom open your mail) it would seem that your work address would be good - it is a consistent address, whereas you are moving frequently.

If proceedings are served to an address other than your nominated service address, there is a failure to serve and any default judgment applied for and obtained in respect of incorrectly served documents must be set aside (this is an imperative not an option). You would be able to rely on your letters to claim costs of the set aside were that the case also.

Sorry beamerguy, didn't see your post before I read Umkomaas post.

Your suggesting to respond (at which point I would give new address) but Umkomaas is suggesting to ignore ?

Either action is open to you. Neither kill this off, neither is fatal to you. Your choice.

Ok, Thanks again.
